Enrique Perez Piquer

Award Winning Clarinetist

Spain

I think the reeds légère have been a great advance for the evolution of the Clarinet’s History. With the reeds légère I can interpret any piece of the solo or orchestral repertoire, with a sound of great quality, fantastic control of the articulation and the intonation. Best of all is the psychological rest of knowing that reed always responds.
